A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes on a scale of 0 to 100. RSI helps identify overbought conditions (typically above 70) and oversold conditions (typically below 30). It is calculated by comparing the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses over a set period, usually 14 days.
A charting method that displays the volume traded at each price level over a selected time range. VPVR shows where the most trading activity occurred, highlighting high-volume nodes (areas of strong agreement) and low-volume nodes (areas where price may move quickly). It helps identify significant support and resistance levels based on actual trading interest.
A price level where a significant amount of volume was traded. High volume nodes often act as support or resistance because many participants have positions or interest at that level. Low volume nodes (or 'valleys' between high-volume areas) are zones where price tends to move quickly with less friction, as fewer trades occurred there.
A volatility indicator consisting of a middle band (typically a 20-period simple moving average) and two outer bands set at two standard deviations above and below the middle. The bands widen when volatility increases and narrow when it decreases. Price touching the upper band may suggest overbought conditions; touching the lower band may suggest oversold. The bands also help identify potential breakouts when price moves outside the band.
The average of a security's price over a specified number of periods. Each data point in the average is weighted equally. For example, a 50-day SMA is the sum of the closing prices for the last 50 days divided by 50. SMAs smooth out price data to help identify trend direction and are often used as dynamic support and resistance levels.
The total amount of money a company brings in from its business activities (sales of products or services) before deducting expenses. Revenue is reported on the income statement and is a key measure of a company's scale and growth. It does not account for costs, so a company can have high revenue but still be unprofitable.
A company's net profit divided by the number of outstanding shares. EPS shows how much profit is attributed to each share of stock and is a common measure of profitability. Higher EPS generally indicates better profitability on a per-share basis. EPS can be reported for past periods (trailing) or estimated for future periods.
The ratio of a company's share price to its earnings per share (EPS). P/E indicates how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of earnings. A higher P/E may suggest the market expects growth or the stock is overvalued; a lower P/E may suggest undervaluation or lower growth expectations. It is often compared to historical P/E or peers in the same industry.
The ratio of a company's market capitalization (or share price) to its revenue. P/S measures how much the market values each dollar of sales. It is useful for comparing companies that are not yet profitable or have inconsistent earnings, since revenue is less subject to accounting adjustments than earnings.
